To connect an oscilloscope
to
the HP
7090,
refer
to
the diagram below.
Connect the
VERT
BNC connector to the Channel
A
(vertical) input of the
oscilloscope. Connect the
HOAIZ
8NC connector
to
the Channel B (hori
zontal) input of the scope.
.
�
Use the
CHANNEL SELECT
push buttons to select the buffered Y-axis and X
axis output.· Versus-time or versus-chan3 relationships may
be selected
for
viewing. The Y-axis selection(s) is fed to the Channel
A
(vertical) scope
input; the X-axis selection is fed to the Channel B (horizontal) scope input.
The output voltage range at each of the
VERT
and
HORIZ
output connectors is
-10
to
+
10
volts. The
A
and B scale (volts/division)
settings of
the scope
should be set to allow complete display of both inputs, and the beam
centered for "zero" input. Set the input coupling for
both scope channels
to
"dc." Set the scope's display switch
to
permit
viewing
of
Channel
A
versus
Channel B.
When the buffers are filled
(or
while they are filling),
data for the selected
x
and Y-axis channels are shown on the oscilloscope display. Y-axis buffer
selections may be selected for viewing individually or simultaneously, and
"time" or Channel 3 may be selected for X-axis display. (Time output
appears as a positively·sloped ramp when viewed alone on the scope.)
·Because the "scope out" range is proportional
to
the
